chapter 197

---  One month?Of course, Lucy remembered that it had been a month today since they met. But why would he bring a cake for this?  Lucy looked around, and apart from them, nobody else was present in this big mansion. She expected to see Kathy Taylor, his family, and a lot of guests for the ceremony. But this wasn't what she had imagined. Confusion marred her face.  "Happy One Month Anniversary," Eric softly said as he pulled her closer to him.  Lucy looked at him, stunned. "You... you remember?"  "Of course. How can I ever forget it?" He smiled.  *Hold on! What is going on here? Where is that crease woman? Is the engagement ceremony somewhere else?*  "Today is a special day for us, so I decided to do something special."  This was an important tip in the list of how to woo a woman and make her happy. Celebrate important dates with her and make her feel special and cherished.  Lucy asked, her mind still spinning in a whirlwind of questions, "So... so this is it? You brought me here to celebrate our one-month event?"  "En."  "Nothing else?"  "En."  She rapidly blinked her eyes. "T-then what about her?"  Eric tilted his head. "Who?"  "Your fiancée. Kathy Taylor. What about her and—"  "Fiancée? I don't have any fiancée."  "..."  It was as if a thunderbolt struck her hard from head to toe. *Huh? Don’t have a fiancée? What does that mean? Today is your engagement ceremony with Kathy Taylor, isn’t it? Then why did you bring me here?*  Eric frowned. He recalled Frank Lucas crying about a similar issue. "I don’t know what the confusion here is, but I don’t have any fiancée. There is no engagement either."  She was stunned. "B-But I met her in the store one day. A few days back! She was shopping for her engagement dress with your Grandma."  Eric stared at her questioningly. "You met Old Madam?"  "Not just her. Your father too. He was the same man who I met in the supermarket that night! Didn’t I say I met a man who looked exactly like you? He was Uncle Elvis!"  Eric narrowed his eyes. He had his suspicions that it could be Elvis Wilson, but he had no reason to meet Lucy because that meant he was interested in his son’s life—which he wasn’t since his childhood.  "Uncle and Assistant Frank told me that that crease woman was your fiancée and that today is your engagement."  He blinked his eyes.  *Crease woman?*  Eric said with utmost sincerity, "She is not my fiancée."  Lucy felt even more confounded. "But Assistant Frank said that you had agreed to this engagement yourself."  "No, I didn’t. I don’t know about any engagement."  Her mouth was wide open. "How is it that you don’t know, Boss? Everybody else knows about your engagement. Today is the ceremony, and you... Wait. Are you saying you were unaware of your engagement!?" she asked in disbelief.  "Yes," he plainly stated.  "How is it possible!? Did your family members hypnotize you or something?"  "No."  "Then how? Weren’t you present during the discussion?"  "I was."  "..."  *What is Boss doing? Agreeing and denying at the same time.*  "Boss, you were present when the discussions happened, and you agreed to it. So how can you say you don’t know about the engagement?" she sobbed. Lucy was completely baffled.  Eric furrowed his brows. "I didn’t agree upon the engagement."  "..."  "I nodded my head for—"  He was about to say that it was her picture, but he stopped just in time. He froze.  *I cannot say that I found her picture on Luca’s phone. We hadn’t met at that time, so Lucy will question how I got her photo…*  Lucy asked, "Nodded your head for?"  "Something else. I was focused on a certain photo in my phone," he slyly said.  !!!Â
